Hey Jim,
The IPhone has been digging into the Blackberry market like you wouldn't
believe. Up until now, Blackberry has been holding the business market and
the IPhone was seen as being for the rest of us. Of course, as a Canadian I
am a little sad that Blackberry, one of our biggest companies, is losing a
big part of the market. Don't be surprised that the media and other big
companies, huge Blackberry users, will bash anything that disturbs their
comfort zone just like we, as blind users, have been complaining about the
changes in IOS 6. It is change and, no matter how good it is, it disturbs
people and spills a lot of ink.
Let's be positive and wait a bit and watch Apple float up to the top just as
they have in the past. They have the technology, the money and the desire
to do that. After all, it only makes good business sense.
I think that this list is the best representative of our users and we need
to be positive, continue to report bugs to a company that, up until now, has
been listening to us. Finally, we have some power and we need to use it
wisely.

Using it is no problem and I think over all it is an upgrade. I can't help
but wonder if the reason it was covered was because it was another
opportunity to put a negative spin on the IPhone and things related by the
media. The media and the press, in my view, they seem to absolutely hate the
IPhone. They hate its success and they are doing everything they can to turn
the tide against it. Sure you can find a few positive articles, but they are
from a specific collection of people and sources. So they found what they
could present as another trashing opportunity.
